How often do you buy a pair of shoes right on the spot simply because you like them? And how often do you think rationally about whether you really need them or not?
Staying home during the past pandemic year changed my life in many ways. One of the things I realized was that I don’t need a whole lot to maintain my everyday life. Besides having food and a home to live in, I don’t need a lot of fancy shoes and pretty clothing. All I need are slippers and simple clothing like sweatshirts and leggings.
As a matter of fact, I haven’t shopped for fancy shoes for almost 10 months in Year 2020. The reasons being 1.) with everything that went on I wasn’t in any mood for shopping for unnecessary goods, and 2.) there wasn’t any point of buying things that I don’t know when I could ever wear them.
However, my idle shopping mode was slowly shifted as the vaccine became available. I started to pay attention to some of the promotion emails in my inbox. Then, I saw a pair of Stuart Weitzman boots that caught my attention months ago and now are on sale, and available in my size.

There’s no better time to shop than seeing something you like at a discounted price. Right on the spot, the boots sparked my hibernated love for shopping. Once again, I can feel the joy of putting the accessory in my online shopping cart, making the payment, and waiting for the boots to arrive at my house.
All of my rationales of not needing anything other than food and housing suddenly were all thrown out the window. What was left, at the moment, was the happiness and anticipation of seeing my new boots in person.
The anticipation was well worth it. I love the boots and looking forward to wear them.
